    - Dual core processor not used under XP pro x64 Hello, I've just got my new Dell precison 690 with two dual core Xenon Intel processor. I've install XP pro x64. No problem, windows sees my processors..... but only uses one of them! By default the bios had enabled Hyper threading and I could only use a maximum of 12,5 % of my processor. Now that I have disabled HT, I can use 25%, but I can't find a way to use the whole power available. I checked affinity and my main application is allowed to uses all the processors....but it does not. Any ideas ? -- Eric Appelmans Tag: HArd disk pioneer Alan Shugart passes... Tag: 41997

    - Printing to Xerox 5500 There is a known issue with the Xerox Phaser 5500 printer installation as this runs a program called PSCOUTEXE. Everytime I print to the 5500 printer it threw up a program error "PScoutExe has stopped working". This is a print monitoring program but does not prevent stuff being printed. As this was annoying we did the following..... The program runs as a process so you cannot see it in the TASK Manager window unless you have the error message displayed. Once you have it all you need to do is to remove the run privelages from EVERYONE (first remove inherited properties) and the program does not run when you print, enabling you to print and not getting the error message. Just in case we also downloaded the VISTA driver from XEROX but that did not fix the problem! The issue exisits for both 64 and 32 bit versions of RTM Vista Tag: HArd disk pioneer Alan Shugart passes... Tag: 41995

    - system will not boot unless XP cd rom in drive I have a intel storage matrix SATA RAID controller have 2 drives in a RAID 0 array. I have not activated the install because want to make sure everything is working properly. The only way the system will boot to the operation system is if the xp cd is in the drive and when it boots everything seems fine The bios acts as thought the hard drives has nothing on it if the cd rom is not in it This a hardware issue more than a XP install issue? Is this because i have activated it yet or some other reason not sure what started doing this right after i instlled XP Pro x64 edition all new component most recent thecnology (this the reason?) This is a wierd one I used the QUICK NTFS format option on the install Tag: HArd disk pioneer Alan Shugart passes... Tag: 41992

    - 5.1, MMDriver.inf and Machine check error I have been having a load of (non) fun over the last couple of days, just when I thought I had this second re-build working it turns out it's not. I've just bought the Emu 1820m Sound-Card and wanted to test getting a 5.1 output from Windows Media Player (WMP). While following the instructions found in the http://www.productionforums.com forums = Tools/Options/Devices/Speakers/Properties and make sure that DirectSound is selected (though I'm not sure at this point as that I have two DirectSound choices - as well as the default there is an E-DSP Wave [BCE0] version. (I've tried both) , anyways, when I clicked on advanced it came up that the MMDriver.inf file was missing, yet I could see it clear as day sitting in my system32 directory - where it was supposed to be. So I searched this fault and found many people had posted copies in the groups, which I copied into my system32 folder after changing the name of the original .inf to .old. I even put a copy into my WOW64 directory. Nothing seemed to be working, so I went into Programs (rightclick) My Computer/manage/eventviewer/system and found a WMIxWDM Errors 120, 122, 123, Machine Check Event reported is a fatal bus or interconnect error. So off I went down this road and read how many people said memory is bad or CPU is bad. My ram is brand new Corsair - the stuff that they recommend. So I started poking around in my bios, tried turning ECC on again, turned chipkill off and searched to find out what the 4 or 8 beat burst was all about. The side panel in my bios said that 64 bit Dq must use 4 beats - and I had it on the 4 because (in my mind) I was running 64 bit. It turns out that 64 bit Dq is single channel memory, so I changed my bios to 8 beats and rebooted and no more WMIxWDM errors. It also turns out that this error is the machine saying it found a problem, but it has fixed it. I notice today that it is still happening at boot, but not on warm boots Back to the MMDriver issue, at Free Codecs.com I found a tute telling how to load the MMDriver.inf, titled "How to (re)install Default Codecs in Windows XP/2000. " 1. Choose Start > Control Panel and click Add hardware, then click Next from Add Hardware Wizard. Click "Yes, I have already connected the hardware" then click Next button, again. 2. Choose Add a new hardware device at the bottom of the list and click Next. Select "Install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)", and click Next. 3. Select "Sound, video and game controllers" from "Common hardware types" list and click Next. Select "(Standard system devices)" from "Manufacturer" and click Have Disk... button. 4. Click Browse in the Install From Disk dialog box and open the folder C:\Windows\System32 Find mmdriver.inf file, select it and click Open then click OK in the Install From Disk dialog box. If you see a warning about logo compatibility, just click "Continue Anyway". 5. Now you should finally see a list of audio codecs. But I didn't, I got a new error message, "The specified location does not contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the location contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for x64based systems." I got to thinking that maybe this copy of XP 64bit that I bought from an online retailer who I had dealt with many times had sold me a pirated copy. So I dug deeper on this MMDriver thing, turning up at Microsoft to read this "Microsoft Windows Server 2003 x64 editions and Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition require that OEM device driver .inf files specify a TargetOsVersion entry in the [Manufacturer] section and in the [Models] section for the following 64-bit computer platforms " "Note The .NTamd64 decoration in the following .inf file excerpt is used for all AMD64 or EM64T platforms. Conversely, the .NTia64 decoration is used for Intel Itanium platforms. [Manufacturer] %mycompany% = MyCompanyModels, NTamd64 [MyCompanyModels.NTamd64] %MyDev% = mydevInstall, mydevHwid " Now if you look at the MMDriver.inf you will see no decorations like above, which makes me suspicious about my copy of x64, or that Microsoft don't do what they say needs to be done. Further down the page I found "Installing Undecorated INFs on X64-based Systems The following workarounds can be used to install undecorated INFs on x64-based systems. These workarounds are intended only for use on test systems and are not recommended for production drivers. Method 1. Turn off the undecorated models check for AMD64. To turn off the undecorated models check for AMD64-based systems only, create the following non-zero numeric registry value: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup: REG_DWORD: DisableDecoratedModelsRequirement Set the key to a non-zero value (such as 1) and restart the system, then install the driver. " Now running the free-codecs install worked, but what do I need to load?

    - Install 32 bit Version of XP Pro after x64 I upgrade my computers (2) ever 3 years or so. Last year I upgraded to dual core ... and had xp pro x64 installed. This works good for me. However my wife is having dificulty with some websites. I am going to try uninstalling the NVida firewall and see if that works for her. I did buy two full copies of the 32 bit XP Pro to install on both computers. My thoughts are that I install a new HD and disconect the x 64 drive. Install the 32 bit o/s on the new drive. Set the new drive as a slave, and reinstall the x64 drive. Now from there how do I get the dual boot to work? btw I am a not an IT professional, just a hobbiest.

    - freezes during startup I have just begun having a problem when starting up windows x64. During the logo screen the blue bar stops and stays like that. I can not get into or past my computer. The only hardware change was a dvd burner that i installed, recently i unplugged it thinking something screwed it up. This was not the case. Occasionally i will get a system boot failure. I have managed to get into safe mode with networking but am unsure as to what the problem may be. Any help would be appreciated. FYI, i replaced the power supply, bearing was going bad anyway but i thought this might fix the problem, it did not. Tag: HArd disk pioneer Alan Shugart passes... Tag: 41939

    - Questions about Windows 2003 64 Hello, These questions may seem silly but I'll ask to play it safe - thanks for your feedback. ANyone have any issues with adding a 64 bit 2003 server to an existing Windows 2003 domain if the existing servers are 64 bit? Anyone have any issues with running Symantec AV enterprise on Windows 2003 64 server? I've worked with McAffee, Sophos and others - I prefer Symantec - so my question is about Symantec, not alternatives. Anyone see an advantage to running Windows 2003 64 for a DC, if they only plan on using 4GB on that server and a dual core processor? Thanks again! Tag: HArd disk pioneer Alan Shugart passes...

    - Can't get XP x64 installed correctly I'm installing Windows XP x64 on a RAID0 array. I used the current nVidia RAID drivers and successfully formatted the array, and Windows Install went smoothly. However, I can't get past the splash screen. Windows just reboots every single time and it goes into a loop with no BSOD or error message. I have reinstalled once only to get the same result. My configuration is: AMD Athlon XP 3200+ Gigabyte GA-K8NXP-SLI (using the nForce 4 RAID controller) 2gb Kingston PC3200 DDR 2 Western Digital WD2500KS 250gb hard drives OEM Windows XP Pro x64 I will try to use the other SATA RAID controller on the board (Silicon Image Sil3114) unless someone can help me figure out what's going on!

    - Windows Vista Unsigned Drivers Hello! So I've got this Gameboy Advance Homebrew running device, like a little docking station for a custom GBA cartrdige. Heres the thing, on Windows XP the thing works fine, driver is found stright away and then bam, chucking stuff on it. On Vista (RC1 5600 64bit Beta), the driver can not be found, not on my CD or when I download like a hundred different versions of the driver. Theres a good chance the thing just needs new drivers, but on XP you get the whole "Driver is unsigned or untested, continue anyway?" Which might be the problem. So, basically, asking if anyone has had problems with drivers on Vista and any possible ways to fix it, I'll take anything you got! Thanks so much for reading!

    - How to restore dual boot of xp 32 & win 64 I got this from the planet 64 amd newsgroup. I had winxp 64 installed.I then installed Vista RC2 build 5744. I had a copy of Xp home kicking around and thought I would load it ,so when vista comes out I will use it to upgrade to vista. This way I can keep my win xp 64 & dual boot. After installing XPhome I could not dual boot error message was (ntoskrnl.exe is corrupted or missing) I tried everything I could think of to fix the dual boot. I fail miserbly. I came accross this msg. in the newsgroups on Plantnet64 amd. I thought I would give this a try. I followed the instructions carefully. It worked I now can boot vista using (Vista Pro Boot Manager). I can boot to vista Or Xp64 Or xp home 32. If u have had a hard time setting up dual boot after installing xp home try this it worked for me. To restore your dual boot of XP64 and XP32 you will need to run the recovery console from the XP32 install CD. When it asks you which installation you want to log on to make sure you log onto the XP64 installation. From there you should run the command "bootcfg /list" This will find and list all currently installed versions of windows on your system. After you run that you will need to run "bootcfg /rebuild" It will then search for the needed boot information you will get a prompt such as this: Total identified Windows Installs: 2 [1] C:Windows [2] D:Windows Add installation to boot list? (Yes/No/All) You should type "all" and hit enter From there you will be asked to Enter the Load Identifier. This is the name of the operating system. When you receive this message, type the name of your operating system, and then press enter. This is either Microsoft Windows XP Professional or Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition. Then you will be asked to enter OS load options: When you receive this message, type "/fastdetect /NoExecute=OptIn" (for XP32)or "/fastdetect /NoExecute" (for XP64) then press enter. You will be asked the same questions for each OS you have installed. after you have done this you will type "exit". the system will reboot. You may notice that there are 3 choices after using this to repair the dual boot. if this happens goto the boot.ini file in the root of C: and open it with wordpad or notepad. remove the extra line and save the file. Make sure that when you do this that the box for "always use this program to open this kind of file" is unchecked. You should be able to boot into both OSs properly now.

    - 2k3r2 64bit - cannot run networked applications All: (details) Probably a silly question but I just added an x64 r2 server to our domain. it is not a DC or a GC. I have successfully added the server to the domain. I am logged on a Domain Administrator. (issues) I cannot run any application on a network share. I have 1 TB in a raid array as D:. I've created a network share for D: in A/D as W:\. I cannot run any applications from W:, even though this is locally D:\. Running the same apps from D:\ works perfectly fine with no alteration. None of the A/D users or permissions or shares are 'new', meaning that the same setup has been working for the last 9 months since I built the domain, and still works fine on all the other shares/servers/pc's. I can browse everything. I can take ownership. The Compatibilty tab is greyed out however. (error syntax) Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening? Tag: HArd disk pioneer Alan Shugart passes... Tag: 41856

    - Windows XP 64 bit CD rom driver installation When I try to install my CD rom drive under Windows XP 64 bit version the hardware install program keeps telling me there is no driver available. The drive manufacturer's web site says the drive uses the drivers provided by Windows XP and provides no drivers or even a reference to the Windows XP 64 bit version. How do I install my CD rom drives under windows XP 64 bit version? Tag: HArd disk pioneer Alan Shugart passes... Tag: 41840

    - x64 install on RAID array Hey, I'm kinda stumped now. Thanks to those who helped me figure out how to get my new RAID array to show up in my existing copy of x64. I'm going to get rid of the old drive, but instead of copy the old machine onto the array, I want a clean Windows install. When I installed x64 before, I had to install a SATA driver during installation. I used a floppy with drivers on it, but have since gotten rid of the floppy drive. I made a CD with the required nVidia RAID drivers, but Windows Install only gives me the option of A:\ to search for the drivers. How can I install Windows on my RAID array by using a second CD with drivers on it? Tag: HArd disk pioneer Alan Shugart passes... Tag: 41830

    - Question: Mounting partition to NTFS folder. Quirky? Hey all, I recently bought a 300GB SATA drive. It installed beautifully, I got the BIOS configured, Windows found drivers for the device without me even having to do anything, blah blah blah. I used the LDMS to split the drive into two partitions: the first is 200GB and the second is about 80GB (the rest being eaten by the Retail Hard Drive Size Exaggeration Monster). I then mounted the partition into an NTFS folder, and tried to copy some files. Unfortunately, the copy failed almost immediately, saying that the file could not be found. I found this odd, as the file was certainly there. So I tried to delete the folder it created. Explorer acted as if the folder were in use, saying Access Denied. I was very confused about this bizarre behavior. I have another partition on an IDE drive mounted into a folder, and it works great. I tried reformatting the partition again, changing the cluster size, making sure the cable was plugged in well, and (of course) rebooting. I also ran Scandisk, which found no errors. As a last resort, I mapped the drive to a drive letter (rather than a folder). To my great surprise, everything worked. The files I could not previously copy (it is worth noting that it was the same files each time which refused to copy) now copied perfectly, and I could delete the previously undeletable folders. To make sure I wasn't going crazy, I remounted it into a folder. Bam, the same files refused to copy, and the folders gave Access Denied errors again. I really want to mount this partition in a folder. Can anyone give me hints as to what I might be doing wrong about this? Is it a SATA/IDE issue, since that's the only difference between the partition I have mounted to a folder and the ones which are failing? More standard info: -The SATA drivers I'm using are apparently included with Windows. My motherboard manufacturer does not have 64-bit drivers for the SATA interface. The motherboard is an nForce 3 chipset (MSI K8N Neo2). Thanks much, Nathan Tag: HArd disk pioneer Alan Shugart passes... Tag: 41682

    - x64 Beta Test Opportunity I realize that most of the folks here are basically end users - we don't get all that many Server questions, after all. But at least I'm reasonably sure you all have at least one x64 machine or are thinking about one. Which would be cool for some products, but here's a chance for those of you with some _serious_ hardware to get in on the ground floor of a new Microsoft server offering - code name is Centro, and a description and a link to apply for the beta are in Kevin Beares blog, here: http://blogs.technet.com/kevin_beares/archive/2006/10/24/so-what-is-centro-you-ask.aspx I know that if Kevin is running the beta, or heavily involved, it will be fun and we'll have good communications. But before you all go running over to his site, let me warn you up front. The MINIMUM requirement is 3 - x64 machines to use as servers, and at least two client machines. That's a serious hardware hurdle, but the result looks like it's going to be a really cool and interesting product. So, if you're interested, now is definitely the time to apply. I hope to see at least some of you there. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/xperts64 Tag: HArd disk pioneer Alan Shugart passes... Tag: 41672

    - how to get the 64 bit edition Ok ..First I am a dumb A** I downloaded the 32 bit vista and in my excitement didn't think far enough ahead to know that: 1 Vista is wonderful 2 Vista minimum requirements is a joke 3 Next step is a more powerful unit with larger HDs 4 SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN 64 BIT EDITION! Now, who has an idea how I can get the 64 bit now that the preview download is no longer available? Should I just call Bill at home and explain the problem? HELP! New dual core ready to fly.

Nice piece of writing - I'll make sure this Fulton character comes to the
attention of my lawyer's, when that time comes.
